2. Have a Bon Fire Night

Gather the ingredients for your favorite fire side snacks, such as s’mores and the like, grab a blanket and head outside for a bon fire. Cuddling, star-gazing and watching the fire dance is pure romance.

3. Make Homemade Ice Cream After Bedtime

4. Go on a Picnic

5. Buy Tickets for a Concert You’re Both Excited About
